The Borrowed Wall Art Prize is an initiative of Liverpool City Council and Liverpool City Library. It aims to reinvigorate the city streetscape with contemporary art in public spaces such as the front wall of the Liverpool City Library.

The Borrowed Wall Art Prize will be run annually and aims to support young artists with a cash prize along with the resources to create a large-scale artwork on the Library's façade. It is also a fantastic opportunity to have their work seen by thousands of people every day.

Young artists, 18 - 30 years old, were invited to submit an artwork which reflected the contemporary library experience as a vibrant cultural space where community diversity is celebrated. The artwork had to cover the entirety of the wall - a massive 6m in height and 8.8m wide.



The finalists were chosen by a panel of judges and now, finally, the unveiling of the winning artist and artwork will take place on Thursday 14th April 2016. You are invited to attend the unveiling in the Liverpool City Library forecourt at 11am.



In conjunction with National Youth Week the unveiling will be followed by fun and games including:


You can be one of the first to see the new artwork on the Borrowed Wall and join in the fun and games at this free community event provided by Liverpool City Council and Liverpool City Library.
